I've seen it 100 times and everytime I'm as equally blown away by the energy and insane ability that EVH put into that performance. He will always be my favorite guitar player.
Damn. This video made me shed a tear or five. My dad (who was a self-taught classical guitarist and honored by the NEA in Washington DC) bought a Les Paul and would proudly display it. Until my sister "borrowed" it and he never saw it again 😢. And he knew my fave guitarist was EVH, his fave was Andrès Segovia.
Wow Eddie with Jan Hammer and Tony Levin, who is the drummer? I worked with the Les Paul Trio a lot at the Iridium sadly after Les had passed, never got to meet him, Anton Fig would come over from David Letterman and play with the trio with special guests. Good times. One night I played drums at sound check for Zakk Wylde and the trio because Anton couldn’t make sound check, I am not a drummer😅
I played every date of the 5150 tour (with the opening act, BTO)......met Les Paul back stage at one of those shows......what a joy and an amazing memory.........
Who said EVH is dead.... I can hear him play this song and eruption in andromeda galaxy....he has been kidnapped...but aliens left his body here....gave him an ageless body there.... Now he's blowing the hell out of them, aliens...😮 Keep on rocking eddie...we can hear you....from any corner of this universe and beyond..
In my humble opinion, Eddie Van Halen was the BIGGEST STAR in The Van Halen band. Him & his brother. RIP Eddie, you are truly missed.❤❤
Shut it fan boy.
I love the respect EVH gives the legend Les Paul...both RIP
1988. Life was good.
🤗
Shut. The 80’s was cheesy and this video proves it.
@@user-user-user-user.
More CHEESE 🧀 PLEASE!!
@@user-user-user-user. We could be cheesy without judgement from people like yourself in 1988. You just proved the point. Life was better then.
The cocaine was good…
Thank you, Eddie!
Tony Levin on bass and Jan Hammer on keyboards.
Thank you, I was going to ask if that was Tony 😊.
Picked 'em both. Levin has played with everyone on the planet apart from me and you. Legend.
Right!?????? WOW I worked every date of the 5150 tour, but didn't get to hear anything like this.............
How much more 80’s can you get? Maybe if Phil Collins was on drums
I guess you guys aren’t ready for that yet. But your kids are gonna love it.
Lol
Lol. Good one
Absolutely. Haha.
1988 ❤️🙏🏼
Eddie is kissing Les Paul with sincere love, an honest admirer.
He’s drunk AF.
I've seen it 100 times and everytime I'm as equally blown away by the energy and insane ability that EVH put into that performance. He will always be my favorite guitar player.
-R.I.P. -Eddie Van Halen- [Oct. 6 2020]__ we still rock with all van halen music__🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
I wish Eddie would have teamed up with a prog band and created an entire album like this.
Damn. This video made me shed a tear or five. My dad (who was a self-taught classical guitarist and honored by the NEA in Washington DC) bought a Les Paul and would proudly display it. Until my sister "borrowed" it and he never saw it again 😢. And he knew my fave guitarist was EVH, his fave was Andrès Segovia.
So sad Eddy V is gone.. really brings tears to my eyes…. That god we had him for as long as we did……. REST IN PEASE BUDDY…
Eddie and Tony.... Wow
Very proud to have known Eddie, if only on a casual basis.
Last night, Darth EVH came down from planet Vulcan and told me that if I didn't take Lorraine out that he'd melt my brain
That scene was epic.
-May 29 2024- 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
Let's just keep this brain melting stuff to ourselves, ok?
Vader, not Eddie Van Halen. So close.
Its your density
OMG I miss him!! RIP EVH! 😢❤
Eddie's killing it here and nice tribute to Les, RIP to the king!
The greatest to ever plug in. And Les Paul too!
Two Wizards respecting each other✌️
I find that one of Eddie's greatest performances.
This reminds me of Back to the Future when Marty McFly tells school dance audience after playing a guitar solo..., Your kids are going to love it....
That was hot!
God do I miss Eddie
Would have loved to see Eddie and Levin do a side project. Two totally different styles but they killed it here.
Thank You
Eddie
You Gave Us So Much
We Miss You Dearly
Peace To All
That heart .. passion… enthusiasm.. pure ART..
Eddie is the Hendrix of his generation. Mental what he can do with 6 strings.
Magnificent
Eddie Van Halen Always Loved, Never Forgotten, Forever Miissed
Great Live! performance. The 80's were great! Eddie kicked ass!
One for the Ages here! Paying homage from One Generation to another,
All ICan Say Is WOW‼️ TOTALLY AMAZING ‼️👍👍
So good. I'm so happy I got to see Eddie play live

This was awesome. My first time seeing it here.
EVH- What an incredible soul.
That was ffing outrageous 😮 never seen this...he was so unreal...🎉🎉🎉🎉
The man was amazing!
I loved every bit of this video!!!!
That's respect. Eddie is into all that electronics sn building stuff.
Damn Eddie was crazy good, and makes it look so easy.
Smiling, dancing, jumping around while playing technically insane guitar! RIP
Monstrous !
Only 108,000 views??? This is amazing! First time seeing this! Love the tribute! 💕
Truly the g. o. a. t
George Costanza on the keytar!!!
Almost as much time between Les Paul in 58 to EVH in 88 to us now.
Wow, 36 years ago! Holy sh!t, where did the time go?
エディーって弾くギターの個性が強すぎてどれだけ有名なミュージシャンとやっても噛み合わないんだなと思いました。
Jan Hammer’s lead lines are great, like when he played with Jeff Beck
Jesus. LES PAUL STEPS ASIDE. But he does it for EVH. And damn if Eddie doesn't bring along Tony Levin AND Jan Hammer! Unbelievable
Jan Hammer 🎹👑
That's clean 👍🇺🇸
This was Eddie's best improvisation!!! Hands down!!
Eddie rocked
Imagine if he was actually in tune!
Gota be one of Eddie’s tightest performances sheesh! On fire!
Lol
Tony Levin! Awesome
Just shows how Great Alex is
カッコいいなー
F'n E V H !
うわー
懐かしいー
随分昔に観ましたよ。
まだ、ビデオあるのかな？
このベースって…あの人か
すげえセッションだな
Wow I had no idea George Costanza could play keyboard!
😂you beat me by like one second 🤘🖖🎹✌️👌
Give a shout out to the backing band .all top guys
I played every date of the 5150 tour (with the opening act, BTO)......met Les Paul back stage at one of those shows......what a joy and an amazing memory.........
played?
Yes, we played a 35 minute opening set - every show:
ruclips.net/video/KVSoIxrAbdk/видео.html
@@willswitchcraft wow
Wow, Tony Levin is on bass with EVH 😮
Somebody please tell me why Eddie Van Halen is not the number one guitar player of all time
George Costanza on keytar.
Holy crap look who’s on bass?
👏👏👏👏
I’m gonna guess this is a highlight in band members career
"De Master" with bass master Mr. Levin
IMO, EVH was the greatest rock guitarist who ever lived.
There's another Les Paul show where Eddie plays with Les Paul. Does anybody have that performance uploaded?
Dime Bag sqeeeellls,, 🤠
Wow that was rich!
Jan Hammer don't take no back seat either. He can light it up
Is that Jan Hammer on mini keyboards?
He was riding high with Miami vice..
Yes
They’re jamming together somewhere right now, luckily Tony Levin can’t play bass for them just yet, though. Ungodly playing by all present
was that jan hammer?✨⚜️✨
Yep...
I need to watch some Miami Vice...
Anyone recognise the drummer????
That bass player played with Peter Gabriel also.
And King Crimson and with Yes (ABWH).
On the Live Without a Net video what’s the little snippet he plays right before the Eruption solo? It’s a slow piece
Cathedral. i guess.
A piece he wrote while Valerie was pregnant with Wolfie that ended up on For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge called 3:16 (Wolfie's birthday).
@@jeffshaw3466 thanks so much, oft years I thought this was just a one off riff he did
Who said EVH is dead....
I can hear him play this song and eruption in andromeda galaxy....he has been kidnapped...but aliens left his body here....gave him an ageless body there....
Now he's blowing the hell out of them, aliens...😮
Keep on rocking eddie...we can hear you....from any corner of this universe and beyond..
ok then
Is that Paul Mitchell rockin on the skinz, alright alright alright, EVH just in another category as a guitar musician
Was Toni Levin still in King Crimson? What did I just see here?
Was their a high quality sound recording of this done?
And he did it while completely obliterated.
Eddie was right, Les Paul created much more than Eddie Van Halen.
Who is durummer?
Thank God for Both of them....to hell with cigarettes😲😡
Why is George Costanza on keys?
How was on drums ...almost looked like Mike Portnoy
Line up?
Это Джо Сатриани? Буги
Eddie was probably drunk off his ass during this appearance --- he admitted many times he had social anxiety and needed booze to relax around people
